Marvin Lewis was a good defensive coordinator coming from the Ravens and somewhere to switching to head coach it was to much for him to handle. His discipline rules are always delayed and he has no control over his team. Chad Johnson antics of showboating and celebrating and talking constantly should have been cut out from day 1. You dont let the guy do whatever he wants and then when the team start losing tell him to stop. No coach consistently set the rules. Samething with Chris Henry situation, the Begals did nothing until the Commissioner step in and suspended him for half a season. Marvin Lewis is defensive of coach and the Bengals defense stinks. You give up over 50 points to Cleveland Browns is a disgrace. You come from an organization that is known for running the ball and pounding it between the tackles (Ravens did with Jamal Lewis). Rudi Johnson showed he can do that and you change the offense to have Rudi catch passes from Carson Palmer. That is not his strong suit. Not to mention that you give the defense no help with your quick pace offense. Sustain a drive. I swear the Bengals score in 3 plays or they go 3 and out. Marvin Lewis I'm sorry your just not a head coach and deserve to be fired for what you did to this up and coming organization. You get into cat fights with Chad Johnson and you go back in forth in interviews challenging each other authority. I think this will be your last season and I believe alot of Bengals fans will agree. Even TJ Houshmandzadeh is feuding with the Bengals. My suggestion is to call Tom Coughlin or Bill Belichek and get some advice on how to run a discipline team.

i wish we had marvin lewis.load up on talented wr's so ben could go patriot on the league 40 plus touchdowns.

he's caught up in some bad shit,i'll give you that.but......maybe just maybe he's stuck being the voice man for the front office.you know it rolls down hill.

i'm not sure he ever meant to be an air coryell---but in theory you attack the best teams greatest weakness==steeler secondary,dreadful.and untill last year ,you guys were very dangerous-would have ruined that sb run had palmer not been freakishly hurt but definately going in the right direction---what happened?could shannanigans have caused all this?

when i speak of best teams i mean division only of course.i'm not impressed with tomlins,want to trade?at least your coach doesn't look or act like a tool.

You must not be a Bengals fan cause you have no idea what your talking about. Marvins a good coach. He's just dealing with too much bullsh*t form his player. TJ is not feuding with the Bengals. If he is, I'd like to know over what. Get your facts straight before you post. You make yourself look like an idiot!

He chooses the players that play on the field. Marvin Lewis is defensive of genious right. Lets agree with this because the Ravens had teh number 1 defense when he was they coordinator. Now lets look at the production rankings on defense with the Bengals. Rank 24th in the league with points allowed (24.1)

27th in yards allowed (348.8) (230.4 passing yards) (118.3 rushing yards)

So lets get the facts straight and see who the idiot is. This team cant stop the run or pass and thsi is why they lose.  Marvin Lewis finally admitted that he throw the ball way to much and dont control the game with a well balance attack. These are his words. How many players got arrested on teh Bengals roster yea I know alot. These players do whatever they want and there is no respect with players and coaches and everything is said through the media. He even got into I fight with Chad Johnson in halftime in playoff game. Your freaking head coach act like one. If Chad is a problem then trade him, by keeping him you saying Chad is not the problem and you need him. Let me be the first to say this that this is Marvin Lewis last year with the Bengals trust me. Here is the story about TJ being unhappy with contract.

HOUSHMANDZADEH UNHAPPY TOO?Bengals receiver Chad Johnson has made sure everyone knows in the last couple of days, he isn’t happy in Cincinnati and isn’t planning to show up to off-season workouts.wide receiver, T.J. Houshmandzadeh, also is expected to skip the start of the voluntary conditioning program. Houshmandzadeh is in the final year of four-year contract and is scheduled to make a base salary of $2.525 million, and he thinks that, coming off a season in which he tied for the league lead in receptions, he’s worth more than that.Carson Palmer could make up the nucleus of a Super Bowl-winning passing attack. Now, with Johnson and Houshmandzadeh both 30 years old, it’s looking like the playoff game when Johnson had to be restrained by coach Marvin Lewis could be Johnson’s only one in Cincinnati.Who's the idiot now Kettler???

As

But Johnson isn’t alone.

Adam Schefter of NFL Network is reporting that the Bengals’ other starting

Skipping conditioning might not be a huge issue: Houshmandzadeh also skipped the team’s voluntary off-season conditioning last year, and he still managed those 112 catches. So maybe he doesn’t need to be with the team in March to be ready to play in September.

But the Bengals need to figure out which players will be the focal points of their passing game going forward. A few years ago it looked like Johnson, Houshmandzadeh and

Show me your proof that I'm wrong about anything I mention??? Show me that he is a good coach. He has been getting by because of the great players he has on his team. But he is starting to be exposed. Romeo Krenel and Derek Anderson thanks Marvin Lewis for saving they job. Because that 50+ game ignited that team.

I respect Marvin Lewis as a coach, and I applaud his vigilance in attempting to uphold his principles.   That being the case...Chad "Ocho-Stinko" Johnson is currently nothing more than a friggin' waste of roster space at this point.  He wasn't even all that productive last season was he?  I'd say Lewis should let him sit his stupid, greedy @$$ out all season long and fine him for every day he misses.  Now, if another very lucrative offer gets sent Cincinnati's way, then get rid of him and reap the benefits.  There are just too many  Me, Myself, and I type players in the NFL, and they are all a friggin' vicious cancer that needs to be cut out.....attitudes like that are what makes players SUCK.  As a fellow Giants fan suggested to me yesterday, cut his @$$ loose and maybe he'll end up selling frozen meat from the back of a truck like Ickey Woods.

Actually, Housh isn't upset. He's doing the same thing he's done in the past years which is to choose to work out in CA instead of sharing time with other payers at the Bengals facility. He said that he would like a contract extension but he's not going to push it because his contract isn't up yet. He said he would love to come back to Cinci and play but if it doesn't happen, so be it.

I guess since he SKIPPED the VOLUNTARY work out, that means he's pissed off.

What proof do you want that Marvin is a good coach? Everyone in Cincinnati respects the man and so do his players. CJ has even said multiple times that he respects Marvin.

So did the Browns save his career too since we scored 45 points in that game.

Maybe you should stick to your teams page and stay the hell out of this one!

Or maybe your an idiot cause your a Giants fan. You pick!

TJ has a great deal going for him both on and off the field.  He's been looked at as a natural leader off the field given his position as a member of the commissioner's advisory committee.  His numbers have proven themselves on the field.  He's played hurt and still produced greatly for the team.  Sure, he's entering into the final years of his contract and it is quite natural for athletes to begin thinking about their future.

He skips the voluntary workouts with the team so he can get more individual attention from his trainers in California.  Having done this for the last couple of years, he has come into camp in much better shape than in years past.  His work ethic, in my mind, is without question.  He's a team player all the way from all indications.  He's really not even going out on a limb for Chad either.

I believe he'll get an extension worthy of his skills when the time is right.  And, I believe he is smart enough with negotiations to make it right.  He also realizes that while he is getting paid to play a game, ultimately, the NFL is a business which employs him.

Marvin Lewis' performance as a head coach has seen its ups and downs.  He came in having to take a team with the mindset of losing and turn in around to where they could actually believe in winning.  I have no doubt of his success in doing this.  Some of the players he's brought in (whether primarily his decision or those of others) have had major questions about their character.  We've seen over the course of time, that his drafts have gotten better in that area.  And, at the start, I was on the side of the team and Marvin in relation to the handling of the Chad Johnson situation.  As it has gone on though, I have to question the tactics employed.  Marvin Lewis is the leader of this team, and if he expects the team to win, believe in itself, and carry on as a unified entity, continuing to allow this major distraction to occur isn't helping to reach those goals.  Sometimes when running a business (Mike Brown this is for YOU), one has to swallow his pride and even take a hit in the pocketbook for the betterment of the business.  Marvin and the rest of the team need to help Mike Brown see that.  If it means getting rid of Chad in a trade, then so be it.  Get what you can for him and let him go.  He's doing you no good on his tirade now, and he'd be doing no good sitting at home and not playing 100% for you.

I'm not going to get into name calling fight with you because its childish. I'm basically giving you facts from articles and stats. Please respond to me about the Bengals defense and why it is so bad. Chad Johnson respects Marvin Lewis that is why he punch across the face huh and does antics after Marvin told him to stop. That doesn't make sense. TJ Housh wants a big deal idiot because he is in his 30's and coming off a career year. The Browns was one of the worst teams in the league until after they played Bengals and lite you guys up. Browns defense stink just like the Bengals defense. I'm idiot for liking a superbowl team and not a team like the Bengals that go .500. You just sound dumber with every comment. Well after TJ holds out and you guys have a losing season. Then I'll come back and say I told you so. Marvin Lewis is going to be defensive coordinator for the Rams. You didn't answer any of the questions. Marvin Lewis gets respect from all the players. Show me how. They get arrested, stir controversy. Rudi Johnson isn't happy with his role on the team. Carson Palmer throws the ball 30+times a game. Well loser maybe you will review my facts and realized that you are completely wrong about your team.
